What is Nurturing Thursday, you ask?
Think about it … In our amazing but highly competitive and aggressive society:
- How many of us truly feel good about ourselves?
- How often do we extend to ourselves … the same courtesies, considerations, nurturing, forgiveness and understanding we bestow a loved one, a friend, or even a stranger?
With the ongoing intention to accept myself with an open heart rather than label myself as “good” or “bad” OR a “success” or “failure” … I challenge myself, and I challenge YOU to treat ourselves with the same kindness, caring, and compassion we show a good friend. My goal for this year continues with striving and thriving in an atmosphere of self-compassion and self-kindness in my life. What about you?
To “give this planet a much needed shot of fun, support and positive energy” … I dub Thursdays as Nurturing Thursday.
If any of my readers are interested in joining the nurturing, I applaud and welcome you to do so … the more the merrier!!

Excellent reminder, dear. I don’t know how I missed it.

Absolutely right. And it’s OK to take a nice relaxing long lunch and spend some time with family, which I did today, if there’s nothing that immediately needs attention at work 🙂

Amen and Hallelujah to Mental Health Days!! Sometimes you must step away! Especially if you work in a Soul sucking station….errr… job! Protect your energy by taking a break. I was on a medical leave for two weeks and even though I was recovering from an injury I was able to write more, take more photographs and create more Mixed Media Picture/Photo Collages during my time away from the nuthouse I mean workplace. Here are some that are still in the development stage. Creating art is soothing, therapeutic and cathartic.
